Free Education, College Courses, and Knowledge

The OpenCourseWare Consortium is a collaboration of higher education institutions and associated organizations from around the world creating a broad and deep body of open educational content using a shared model.  It is worldwide community of hundreds of universities and associated organizations committed to advancing OpenCourseWare and its impact on global education.  OpenCourseWare(OCW) is a free and open digital publication of high quality university‐level educational materials.  Currently the OCW database contains 3,786 courses from 45 sources and 7 languages, and is growing.

While this website is still new to me it seems to have a wealth of knowledge in it and it continues to grow.  While know certificates or degrees are offered through it the information is there and placed there by many prestigious universities.
